Step 1: Identify The Source
Smells in the home typically are connected to a physical source...it's not just in the air!
Ask Yourself:
Is the odor located in one area/room in the home?
Is an item in the home the source or is the odor attached to all surfaces?
Can I remove the source or does it need to be treated on-site?
Step 2: Type Of Odor
The type of odor will change how you eliminate it!
Smoke:
-Easily on fabric surfaces and can attach to others if exposed for a long time
-Removal of impacted surfaces may be necessary
-Vinegar wash helps to remove the odor on hard surfaces
Mold/Mildew:
-Very treatable after you eliminate the source
-Cleaning products that kill bacteria are best
-Surfaces heavily impacted by mold may need repainting
Other Soiled
(Pets, Waste, Food):
-Washing fabrics and scrubbing hard surfaces
-Remove heavily soiled items
-Stall air will need to be treated
